I presume you have BOTH 6 pin headers plugged in on the card. Is the new card connected to the same video input on the monitor as the old card was? And does the old card still work when it is used?

Plug your Display connector to the GPU.

Assuming the new card is fully in the PCIe x16 slot, at this point I would have to assume you got a DOA card. It happens.

Driver error.

Clean unistall/install the drivers for the new card using DDU. (search web for DDU uninstaller).

1. Make sure you`re on safe mode when doing the unisntallation.
2. Run DDU.
3. Uninstall Graphics through device manager.
4. Run cc cleaner to fix registry and clean files.
5. Reinstall drivers.

He can't even get a display... let alone boot to Windows.

He got a display in his old GPU, also you can connect the display port in the motherboard.

If you cannot get display while using your GPU remove it and connect your monitor into the motherboard. There is display ports on the back of your case, in which you can also find usb ports, mic, speaker etc.

What I mean is, the driver has no bearing on the initial display at boot. A windows driver does no good outside of the windows environment. All cards should have the basic firmware to produce a display at boot.

Just so you guys know this is the second card I've gotten, I thought the first one was dead so I returned it and got a new one and it does the exact same thing as the first one. Also the disk it came with wont work

The disk will only work in Windows.
Contact HP or the HP forum. There is no more problematic PC manufacturer on this forum for using retail components than HP.
